Come Along
Photograph by Lee Welch | Poem by April Joy Manger
Come along with me to the land of dreams
Where fairies fly and rainbows beam
Take a chance to fall in love
Come along with me into the deep blue sky
Where eagles soar higher than the giant
Take a chance to see glowing angels
and shooting stars
Come along with me to the bottom of the sea
Where mermaids live among sunken ships
Take a chance to find gold-filled treasure chests
Come along with me into the sunset
Where we will follow the golden light
to another world
Take a chance to live with me for eternity

Waterfall of Loving Energy
Photograph by Mary Pike | Poem by April Joy Manger
I come from above
My energy flows to replenish the earth
Purifying the ground and living souls
I spread knowledge, compassion and love
Empowering and bringing dignity to ALL
I do not discriminate as we are ALL one
Branching out, my energy reaches far and wide
I seek hardened surfaces of land and flesh
My spirit is awe-inspiring
It recreates and humbly stirs awakenings
I share this with ALL
I am the waterfall of loving energy

Here Now
Photograph by Lee Welch | Poem by April Joy Manger
Your life isn't over, be who you're meant to be
Life isn't always fair, but one thing is sure:
Love is everywhere
Take time to breathe and look around
Feel the breeze and smell the flowers
Be surprised at what you see
Listen to your inner voice: "Surrender you must"
There's nothing to fear, be courageous and grateful
And, for each and every moment, be here
